Bryce Harper has not yet played in an all star game with the Phillies and this is his 6th year with them. If this is a lengthy injury, I think it’s his first muscle related injury with the others all being bone/ligament issues. 
 

If he’s out then Ohtani is the clear favorite for MVP, unless he were to also get hurt. None of us would ever want to see that, of course
 

 

 

Harper missed the minimum time with a hamstring strain

He's freakin' King Kong.

Could be a phantom IL stint with the all star break coming up, but annual visit to the IL for him.

Could open door for Anderson trade.

Skenes is doing Skenes-like things again today: he hasn't allowed a hit through 6 innings and has 11 K.  He's up to 93 pitches, though, so I imagine he'll only get one more inning, regardless of whether or not he gives up a hit.

Wow, they pulled him even after he only threw 6 pitches in the 7th.  Still a fantastic game.  11 K, 1 BB, 1 HBP, no hits.

He was a pretty good utility guy not long ago. But he's 35 so he's probably done. He'll get a 1 year deal next year from the Angels because we have no idea what we're doing and he'll hit .168 and retire.

Damn... I had no idea he was 35.

Late bloomer.  Didn't make it to MLB until age 27 and wasn't a league average player until the following season.

Take a flier on a 2023 MLB all star? I'm in!

Padres direct-to-consumer streaming service for their games has 40,000 subscribers. At $19.99/month for the 6 months of the season, that means they're only bringing in a little less than $5M from it.

Are they drawing ad revenue along with the subs?

I assume so. But wouldn't come close to what they were getting from their RSN deal rights fees.

Watching ohtani from afar now makes you really ponder how the angels botched the last 10 years.

Jarren Duran hits a 2 run HR to give the AL the lead.
